Well, nothing much to say after the nice comments of everyone except that I hope you will post more of those day to day scenes. You'r doing great with the 24mm lens and I love those interesting scenes.

Thanks very much for the feedback Yves. Yes that lens came in useful while driving through the Alberta badlands. I will post a couple more images.

Thanks Dennis. I did not have quite enough space on the right side to be able to get the curve out. I don’t use this lens much but I put it to good use with the beautiful scenery around Drumheller.

My thoughts exactly. This particular day the saloon was closed for some work being done. The only vehicles in the parking lot were the motorcycle and us. And of course I had to get the Canadian flag in as well. Thanks very much for checking out the image.

Description
The once booming coal mine town of Wayne, Alberta is now a popular tourist destination. From Rosedale to Wayne, Alberta you will cross over 11 bridges. There is an ice cream and gift shop as well as the Rosedeer-Hotel and the Last Chance Saloon. We loved the vibe of the saloon and the drive in and out of Wayne will definitely inspire the photographer in you.
